The best part of this game is that you can choose from so many comic book characters to play along in an otherwise static button smasher. I loved using heroes like Ironman, Deadpool, Cyclops, and Wolverine, but the game doesn't do anythign new. You basically choose four characters to use, any of them can be controlled by a human player (which is pretty neat despite the PS2's requirement of an adapter to play more than two players). Beyond that, you have hours of button smashing in which there is no strategy at all and all you have to do is constantly push any button you want until all the enemies are dead, then you move on in an oversized map where you can get lost very easily. The maps are mostly destructable, which gives the game more playability, but I can't get over how easy it was and how little skill it took.

Great fun - If you manage to stay awake that long

Let me start by stating that I am a HUGE X-men fan; I love the X-men Legends games. This port for the psp is an excellent buy, in terms of content. It's just as much fun as the console version (though as others have mentioned, it is a little harder to see on the smaller screen) and the extras (exclusive characters, additional comic book missions, etc) make it well worth the price. HOWEVER, there is one huge glaring issue that seems prevalent in a lot of otherwise great psp games: INSANELY long load times and slowdown. Admittedly, this is primarily a problem with the system itself, not the game (it's not the fault of the developer that Sony, in it's infinite wisdom, gave the system practically no on-board memory), but other developers have found ways around this technical issue with great success. I honestly would've preferred an exact clone of the console version if it meant reducing the lag time; the extras, while awesome, don't make it any more playable. It seems kind of ridiculous that once I hit the pause button and go to the character status screen, I can make myself a sandwich in the time it takes to GET to the character status screen.

If you can get past the load times, and lag (it tends to slow down a bit when there are a lot of powers going off at once, especially if there are a fair amount of enemies on the screen)then this game IS a lot of fun. Nagging technical problems are the only thing that keep it from being a truly stellar game.

X-men games

I recently purchased this item adding to my collection of Marvel games. After playing the Ultimate Alliance, playing X-men Legends II was a bit disappointing incomparison to UA Marvel. I probably would've enjoyed this more if I had played this previously but I still think the game play in UA is a lot better than this game. And so I still gave it a 3 star.
